Types of Internet
crimes are often thought of as victimless. Nothing could be further from
the truth. Children and teenagers can and do become victims of Internet
crimes. Predators contact teenagers and children over the Internet and
victimize them by
- Enticing them through online contact for
the purpose of engaging them in sexual acts.
- Using the Internet for the production,
manufacture, and distribution of child pornography.
- Using the Internet to expose youth to
child pornography and encourage them to exchange pornography.
- Enticing and exploiting children for the
purpose of sexual tourism (travel with the intent to engage in sexual
behavior) for commercial gain
and/or personal gratification.
